Tom, 33, who won two years ago with Camilla Dallerup, has infuriated bosses at the Beeb with his outburst.

Our sources claim the former Holby City actor has now been put on an unofficial blacklist.

One source said: Toms comments have raised eyebrows from some people very high up in the corporation. Its considered very bad form to be so ungracious and the BBC has a very long memory.

I would not expect to see him working for them any time in the near future.

During his rant, Tom said that Tess Daly, 39, was a presenting robot and added: Everything feels so fake.

I only ever pretended to be friends with Austin Healey because everyone wants to think of us as friends. But Id take him out given the chance. Tom even laid into Bruce Forsyth, 82, saying: He spends all his time concentrating on the autocue rather than being natural.

After winning the show Tom said he wanted to go to Hollywood to be the new Fred Astaire.

But he has not been seen since appearing as a headmaster in the BBC's Waterloo Road last year.

Our source added: You don't go on a show like Strictly Come Dancing and then slate it. Hes made a very stupid move. A BBC insider said: Don't expect him to be signed up in the near future.
